Entering it’s 6th year, the Gift of Guidance returns to this holiday season as a way for up to 10 Houston area nonprofits to get exclusive marketing help from local social media experts.

Organized by the Social Media Breakfast in Houston (SMBHOU), qualifying non-profit organizations can receive pro-bono advice during the organization’s December meeting. Staff or volunteers from the selected nonprofits will meet with talented SMBHOU members who will help them fine-tune social media approaches, tools and techniques.
